Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the NATO acknowl- edgment indicative of a "business- like spirit" starting to surface in peace talks, which he said "gives hope that we can agree on this is- sue." "A neutral status is being seri- ously discussed in connection with security guarantees," Lavrov said on Russian TV this week. "ere are concrete formulations that in my view are close to being agreed." Russia has floated the possibil- ity of so-called Swedish- or Aus- trian-style neutrality, in which Ukraine would be allowed to maintain an army of its own, but be forbidden from aligning itself with other military alliances or hosting bases for foreign troops. Ukrainian presidential adviser and negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak denied that Ukraine was open to adopting such a model of neutral- ity, however, saying on Telegram that his country needs powerful allies and "clearly defined security guarantees" to keep it safe. "Our position at the negotiations is quite specific — legally verified security guarantees; ceasefire; withdrawal of Russian troops," he said. Still, Russia and Ukraine are said to be making progress on a 15-point peace plan that would in- volve limits on the Ukrainian mil- itary in return for the withdrawal of Russian troops, according to a Financial Times report. It is unclear who would get Crimea under the current plan — the peninsula was annexed by Rus- sia in a 2014 invasion — as well as disputed territories in the eastern Donbas region. It is also unknown how any secu- rity guarantee would differ from the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Russia, the US and the UK all agreed to respect Ukrainian borders. Podolyak also called for direct negotiations on Wednesday be- tween Zelensky and Russian Presi- dent Vladimir Putin. Early negotiations were held by delegations in Belarus, and negoti- ations restarted this week by video link. e necessary guarantees would be possible "only with a direct dialogue between the heads of Ukraine and the Russian Federa- tion," Podolyak said. 3.8% HLF 2029 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, pleading for a no-fly zone over Ukraine
